From the information given;
P(cold) = 0.4
P(no cold) = 1-0.4 = 0.6

The number of ways of selecting 4 from 10 = 10C4 = 210

Probability that the 4 selected with catch a cold:

P(4 will catch cold) = (10C4)*P(cold)^4*P(no cold)^6 =  210*0.4^4*0.6^6 = 0.2508

stiv31 [10]
This should be easy because we just have to use substitution method. Substitute the value of x from the second equation into the x of the first equation. 
                         -4(2y) + 11y = 15
                         -8y + 11y = 15
                                   3y = 15   ; y = 5
Substitute this value of y to either the first or second equation.
                                        x = 2(5) = 10
The ordered pair is therefore (10,5).

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

1. X > 8

2.  a.  X < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3x - 8 > 16

    +8.    +8

3x > 24

divide both sides by 3

x >8

2.   2x - 1 < 9

          +1.   +1

      2x < 10

divide both sides by 2

x < 5

Rae deposit 6,000 into a savings account with an interest rate of 4% compounded monthly. how long will it take for the account t
Dovator [93]

Answer: it will take 13.3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 6000

A = 10000

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

Therefore,.

10000 = 6000(1 + 0.04/12)^12 × t

10000/6000(1 + 0.0033)^12t

1.67 = 1.0033^12t

Taking log to base 10 of both sides, it becomes

Log 1.67 = 12tLog 1.0033

0.223 = 12t × 0.0014

0.223 = 0.0168t

t = 0.223/0.0168

t = 13.3 years
